Situated in Moyogalpa, Ometepe region, Hostal Mamá Derlys is located 38 km from Maderas Volcano. This property offers access to a patio and free private parking.

Excellent location right by the ferry port and near restaurants. The room was bigger than expected, the bed very comfy and the air conditioning worked brilliantly. The bathroom was a great size with really good water pressure in the shower. Really lovely staff too! There's a lovely little terrace with seats and charging points where you can sit and watch the sunset over the port. Great value for money, definitely recommend staying here in Moyogalpa.

Enjoyed our stay here. The host Jose is a really friendly and welcoming guy, he helped us organise a scooter rental with ease and gave us advice on good spots on the island. The property is awesome, great views of Volcan Concepcion, really good kitchen facilities for making your own food, everything was clean! There are fruit trees on the property which you can pick your own (coconuts and citrus fruits). Would recommend.

Hostal Xilotl, hotel in Rivas

Featuring garden views, Hostal Xilotl in San José del Sur features accommodation and a garden. This property offers access to a patio and free private parking.

I had a great time staying here. First, it was only a five minute walk from the San José del Sur ferry port and very easy to find. It was quaint and cosy, and the rooms had everything you need including a fan that kept me cool at night. The patio was nice and included rocking chairs to relax in, and it was peaceful at night with fairy lights in the garden. The food was delicious, very reasonably priced, and the staff was very accommodating to make a vegetarian menu for me. I also recommend the guided tour! For a fair price you get to choose 4 guided spots to visit in a day. Also a 25-ish minute walk from Charco Verde and easy to find. Well worth it! I would certainly come back here and had a wonderful time.

    Super helpful and friendly host family. Hans and his mum helped me out several times and it was a pleasure to meet the family. The place had everything, was well equipped and super clean including new appliances, a big TV and even a washing machine. Rivas was an interesting small town with a nice square, church, park and a lot of small shops. I walked there every day and it took about 20 minutes.

    Sooo lovely hosts!!! Maybe one of my best experience in Nicaragua (which is not easy as all people there were so nice!). From outside, I was initially a bit scared, but as soon as I entered it all vanished. The apartment is simple but luminous and clean.

    Martha and Max are really firendly hosts, felt so welcomed! Enjoyed my stay there, as I got the feeling ofa homestay :) They are currently renovating their guesthouse - it's going to be super cozy! Parking lot is provided. Got a single room, which was kinda rustic- however clean. Would go there again!
